Answer:

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g

Explanation:

This is just a conversion formula. Easy to find using dimensional analysis.

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

Density is the amount of mass per unit volume, so the formula is:

$d = \frac{m}{v}$

The density of the substance is 5 grams per cubic centimeter and the volume is 10 cubic centimeters.

d= 5 g/cm³
v= 10 cm³

Substitute the values into the formula.

$5 g/cm^3 = \frac{m}{10 \ cm^3}$

We are solving for the mass, so we have to isolate the variable m. It is being divided by 10 cubic centimeters. The inverse of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 10 cm³.

$10 \ cm^3 *5 g/cm^3 = \frac{m}{10 \ cm^3} * 10 \ cm^3$

$10 \ cm^3 *5 g/cm^3 = m$

The units of cubic centimeters (cm³) cancel.

$10 *5 g = m$

$50 \ g=m$

The mass of the substance is 50 grams.

polet [3.4K]

The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction.
Fnet = ma = F - Ff
12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa

Explanation:

As wee know that the amplitude of the wave will decide the energy of the wave

Here we know that energy density of electromagnetic wave is given as

$u = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0^2$
